(i.e. the Swift-BAT team):
Using the data set from T-240 to T+349 sec from the recent telemetry downlink,
we report further analysis of BAT GRB 230510A (trigger #1167973)
(Eyles-Ferris, et al., GCN Circ. 33752). The BAT ground-calculated position is
RA, Dec = 318.138, 34.430 deg which is
RA(J2000) = 21h 12m 33.2s
Dec(J2000) = +34d 25' 49.8"
with an uncertainty of 1.0 arcmin, (radius, sys+stat, 90% containment).
The partial coding was 100%.
The mask-weighted light curve shows a precursor starting at T-150 s with
a duration of ~20 s. The bright main episode starts at T-10 s, peaks at
T+15 s, and ends at T+60 s. T90 (15-350 keV) is 178.4 +- 6.9 sec
(estimated error including systematics).
The time-averaged spectrum from T-145.6 to T+56.8 sec is best fit by a simple
power-law model. The power law index of the time-averaged spectrum is
1.60 +- 0.09. The fluence in the 15-150 keV band is 1.0 +- 0.1 x 10^-5 erg/cm2.
The 1-sec peak photon flux measured from T+13.39 sec in the 15-150 keV band
is 5.9 +- 0.3 ph/cm2/sec. All the quoted errors are at the 90% confidence
level.

The long-duration GRB 230510A (Fermi/GBM detection: GCN 33751; Swift/BAT detection: GCN 33752; CALET/CGBM detection: GCN 33762; Wind/Konus detection at 2023-05-10 12:06:42.814 UT; INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS detection at 2023-05-10 12:06:43 UT) was observed by the GRBAlpha 1U CubeSat (Pal et al. 2023; arXiv:2302.10048).
The detection was confirmed at the peak time 2023-05-10 12:06:31 UTC. The T90 duration measured by GRBAlpha is 24 s and the overall significance during T90 reaches 6.6 sigma in the 120-400 keV band.
The light curve obtained by GRBAlpha is available here:

All GRBAlpha detections are listed at: https://monoceros.physics.muni.cz/hea/GRBAlpha/
GRBAlpha, launched on 2021 March 22, is a demonstration mission for a future CubeSat constellation (Werner et al. Proc. SPIE 2018). The detector of GRBAlpha consists of a 75 x 75 x 5 mm3 CsI scintillator read out by a SiPM array, covering the energy range from ~50 keV to ~1000 keV. To increase the duty cycle and the downlink rate, the upgrade of the on-board data acquisition software stack is in progress. The ground segment is also supported by the radio amateur community and it takes advantage of the SatNOGS network for increased data downlink volume.

We observed the field of GRB 230510A (Fermi GBM team, GCN 33751; Eyles-Ferris
et al., GCN 33752) using the T193cm and T120cm telescopes at Observatoire de
Haute-Provence (France) respectively equipped with the MISTRAL spectro-imager
and the T120 CCD camera. A total of 8 exposures were obtained in the imaging
mode of MISTRAL in the r-band filter (6x600s + 2x300s) and 50 exposures
were obtained with the T120 CCD camera in the r-band filter (50x90s).
Observations were made from 2023 11 May 01:24:26 UT to 2023 11 May 03:00:47 UT
(mid time ~13.2h after trigger).
In the combined frames, we detect a faint source consistent with the
X-ray afterglow position reported by Evans et al. (GCN 33756) and
with the optical afterglow position reported by Jiang et al. (GCN 33761).
The source is detected by both instruments at the same position.
Combining the MISTRAL and T120 images, we measured a magnitude of
r = 21.8 +/- 0.2, in agreement with the value determined individually for
each instrument. The faintest PanStarr DR1 object detected at 3 sigma
in the combined image is at r = 22. The photometric calibration was
performed using nearby stars from the PS1 catalog and the magnitude
is not corrected for Galactic extinction.
We acknowledge the excellent support from Observatoire de Haute-Provence,
in particular Jean Balcaen for the MISTRAL observations, Yoann Degot-Longhi,
Stephane Favard, Luc Favre, and Christelle Eyraud for the T120 observations.

V. Swain (IITB), A. Salgundi (IITB), H. Kumar (IITB), V. Bhalerao (IITB), G.C. Anupama(IIA), S. Barway (IIA) and K. Angail (IAO) report on behalf of the GIT team:
We observed the field of GRB 230510A detected by Fermi (Fermi GBM team, GCN 33751, 33766) and Swift (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 33752) with 0.7m GROWTH-India Telescope (GIT). GIT automatically triggered at 19:35:39 UT, i.e., 7.5 hours after the Fermi GBM trigger. We obtained 3 frames of 300s each in the r' band. We search individual images and the stacked image for an afterglow, at the position reported by P.A. Evans et al. (GCN #33756). We do not detect the optical afterglow emission that was detected by S.Q. Jiang et al., (GCN #33761). Our upper limits on the magnitude of the afterglow are:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JD (mid) | T_mid-T0(hrs) | Exposure (sec) | Filter | Lim_mag (5-sigma) |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2460075.3164274 | 7.52 | 300 | r' | > 18.77 |
2460075.32027526 | 7.62 | 300 | r' | > 18.81 |
2460075.32398713 | 7.71 | 300 | r' | > 18.90 |
2460075.320207265 | 7.61 (mid) | 3x300 (stacked) | r' | > 19.87 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The results are consistent with other afterglow observations reported by S.Q. Jiang et al., GCN #33761; S.Q. Jiang et al., GCN #33764; A. Belles et al., GCN #33774; R. Strausbaugh at al., GCN #33776. The magnitudes are calibrated against PanSTARRS DR1 (Chambers et al., 2016) and not corrected for Galactic extinction.
The GROWTH India Telescope (GIT; Kumar et al. 2022) is a 70-cm telescope with a 0.7-degree field of view, set up by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) with funding from DST-SERB and IUSSTF. It is located at the Indian Astronomical Observatory (Hanle), operated by IIA. We acknowledge funding by the IITB alumni batch of 1994, which partially supports the operations of the telescope.

R. Strausbaugh (University of Minnesota), A. Cucchiara (NASA) report on
behalf of a larger collaboration:
We observed the GRB 230510A (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN 33752) field
with the LCOGT
1-meter Sinistro instrument at the Teide Observatory, Tenerife site, on May
11, from 03:03 to 03:36 UT (corresponding to 14.95 to 15.50 hours from the
GRB trigger time) with the SDSS r and i filters.
We performed a series of 3x300s exposures in each band. We do not detect a
source within the Swift-XRT enhanced error region (Evans et al., GCN 33756)
in either band, consistent with fading from the optical afterglow candidate
(Jiang et al., GCN 33761).
The following upper limits are calculated using the PanSTARRS catalog as
reference:
r > 21.5
i > 19.8
These magnitudes are not corrected for galactic extinction.

report on behalf of the Swift/UVOT team:
The Swift/UVOT began settled observations of the field of GRB 230510A
72 s after the BAT trigger (Eyles-Ferris et al., GCN Circ. 33752).
A source consistent with the XRT position (Evans et al., GCN Circ. 33756)
is detected in the initial UVOT exposures.
Preliminary detections and 3-sigma upper limits using the UVOT photometric
system (Breeveld et al. 2011, AIP Conf. Proc. 1358, 373) for the first
finding chart (FC) exposure and subsequent exposures are:

report on behalf of the Fermi GBM Team:
"At 12:04:06.93 UT on 10 April 2023, the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM)
triggered and located GRB 230510A (trigger 705413051 / 230510503), which
was also detected by the Swift/BAT and Swift/XRT (Eyles-Ferris et al. 2023,
GCN 33752; Evans et al. 2023, GCN 33756). The GBM on-ground location is
consistent with the Swift position (GCN 33751).
The angle from the Fermi LAT boresight at the GBM trigger time is 14
degrees.
The GBM light curve shows a weaker peak followed about 100 s later
by a brighter peak, with a duration (T90) of about 177 s (50-300 keV).
The time-averaged spectrum from T0-4.1 s to T0+11.3 s is
best fit by a power law function with an exponential
high-energy cutoff. The power law index is -0.9 +/- 0.1 and
the cutoff energy, parameterized as Epeak, is 87 +/- 7 keV.
A Band function fits the spectrum equally well
with Epeak = 87 +/- 9 keV, alpha = -0.9 +/- 0.1 and beta = -3.8 +/- 3.2.
The event fluence (10-1000 keV) in this time interval is
(2.0 +/- 0.1)E-06 erg/cm^2. The 1-sec peak photon flux measured
starting from T0+158 s in the 10-1000 keV band
is 12.4 +/- 0.4 ph/s/cm^2.
The spectral analysis results presented above are preliminary;
final results will be published in the GBM GRB Catalog:
